REAR DRUM REMOVAL

you say yoiu broke two types of pullers but don't sway what "types". There is a puller made specifically for pulling drums off tapered axles. You can use a blowtorchh on the hub and you can hammer the end of the puller so it puts shock on the end of the axle.

It is my belief from experience as a 49 year owner/;driver of Treadle vac equiipped vehicles that they do fail. And as an owner/drive of non-power brake vehicles for 49 years including USmakes,Jaguars, Rolls and MG's that they fail also. Perhapos we all should eliminate these failures and convert the power brake cars to manual and the manual to power.


PEDAL SETUP

As an engineer having taken courses in Industrial Psychology and desined production line equipment nd procedures, I strongly believe that despite your saying the setup just takes a bit of getting used to, the design is dangerous in that it will increase reaction time.
